Sue Hampton

    Deze auteur, die inspiratie put uit een fantasierijke jeugd en jarenlange leservaring, ontdekte een diepe liefde voor verhalen vertellen. Haar schrijversreis werd aanzienlijk gevormd door haar ervaringen met kinderen, met name bij het creëren van feestelijke producties en het koesteren van 'verteltijd'. Een cruciaal moment kwam nadat ze, geïnspireerd door een collega-auteur, een roman schreef over een meisje met alopecia, een aandoening die ze deelt, en die werd geprezen om zijn inzicht en aangrijpende schoonheid. Nu een productief auteur, creëert ze zestien romans die zich afspelen in historische, futuristische en hedendaagse settings, en weeft ze verhalen over fantasy, avontuur en mysterie voor lezers vanaf zes jaar, terwijl ze jonge geesten blijft boeien door leerlingen op scholen te inspireren.
